- Ménilmontant by Dimitri Kirsanoff, 1924, 42 min., 16 mm.With Nadia Sibriskaya, Yolande Beaulieu, Guy BelmontA visual melody that makes the story of two orphaned sisters vibrate. This is a masterpiece of silent cinema.

- Indécryptées by Sébastien Ronceray (2002, 7', 16mm)The images removed from a magnetic tape, on which Eisenstein's Old and New/The General Line had been recorded, become indiscernible: only black and white spots compose the new landscape of the film.

Founded in Paris in 2000, Braquage is an association run by artists, educators and programmers. For twenty years, Braquage has offered around 700 experimental, documentary and animated screenings mixing historical and contemporary films. The programs are mainly themed, relating to a historical period, a practice or even a motif. Curated by Klaus W. Eisenlohr in collaboration with Gustavo Jahn.
